[Gnske]

Was that a joke or wasn't it....what do people think?

If I had a brain I would be thinking it was a joke.

 

[King Pietersen]

Those commentator costumes are amazing.

Cheers mate. I'm a long way from home, but you have to be in it to win it and all that. You're trumping up a couple of return flights and tickets to the 4th test for the winner aren't you? Very kind.

30 minutes of free airport wifi yusssssss

From cricinfo:

"Following this onboard a flight from Frankfurt to Chennai," says Kannah. "Got to love the inflight wifi. Go Aussies ! "

Never took you for an Indian, much less a tamilian. -

Finally some funny costumes. Fair play.

Good effort from Neville but England will have realised he has a bit of an issue there.

They were actively going for the strangle and he got suckered.

Is there something I'm missing re: why Lyon comes in after Haze? Looks a much more secure batsman imo

Lyon's technique isn't so hideous but he still just misses straight ones and stuff. I think they're more or less the same.

That 39 in the 100+ last wicket partnership with Voges in the worst dustbowl of the last 5 years against a rampaging Bishoo after Australia lost 9 for 100 or so.

And I'm glad no one did boot polish up as Holding suggested. Hah.

Thank god Hulk Hogan's not in attendance.

 

[Zinzan]

Hazlewood looks comfortably the worst no.10 Australia have had for some time from this angle.

I need to go to work now - I trust we'll be batting by the time I get to the office in half an hour's time

If your plan to a no.7 batsman involves bowling legside crap, then you have a real issue

Cribbage once discovered I was a Shri multi. True story.

Tubs and Healy talking about what's coming up in the next episode of Masterbaste is always a highlight. No segue, just a random outburst that has **** all to do with anything that's happening.

Mate, you volunteering to be the backer? Too kind!

 

[King Pietersen]

Root? Really? :/

I'll travel with whoever wins and make sure their transport and baggage is looked after. It's the least I can do.

 

[GIMH]

Blitz through the overs so we can get to the new ball ASAP

 

[91Jmay]

Starting to get a bit tetchy now. Good knock from Starc here.
